This represents a pivotal regulatory shift, enabling tokens to track share prices without corporate backing or traditional shareholder rights like voting or dividends. The tokenized stock market has surged nearly 30% to $1.4 billion in distributed value across 2,246 assets, with monthly transfer volume hitting $3.24 billion and holders growing 25% to 265,000.
